Title: Flesh and Bone
Author: JeffersonBass
Review: A crime novel that comes closer to the truth of
real criminal investigations than anything I have read recently. Takes place in
eastern Tennessee which only served to increase my interest as it shunned the
usual big city approach to such stories. My interest and attention was peaked
in the first few pages and did not wane. I truly enjoyed this book and will
read more by these two writers. Giving this book five stars and I still think I
am shortchanging it with my rating.
Thanks Frank for this review.

this Title: At a bag sale
Synopsis: Anthropologist
Dr. Bill Brockton founded Tennessee's world-famous Body Farm—a small piece of
land where corpses are left to decay in order to gain important forensic
information. Now, in the wake of a shocking crime in nearby Chattanooga, he's
called upon by Jess Carter—the rising star of the state's medical examiners—to
help her unravel a murderous puzzle. But after re-creating the death scene at
the Body Farm, Brockton discovers his career, reputation, and life are in dire
jeopardy when a second, unexplained corpse appears in the grisly setting.
Accused of a horrific
crime—transformed overnight from a respected professor to a hated and feared
pariah—Bill Brockton will need every ounce of his formidable forensic skills to
escape the ingeniously woven net that's tightening around him . . . and to prove
the seemingly impossible: his own innocence
